Artem Rostovtsev, a guide of the expedition from Nepal: Greetings from the Everest-2021 group! We are climbing higher and higher, at the same time closer to Everest. Today we passed an endless number of panoramic points with views of many mountains, including Mount Everest. But Everest was usually hidden behind cloud cover. Opposite, views of Ama Dablam pleased us almost all walking day. The weather changes like usually in the mountains, suddenly and dramatically. But so far it is predictable:  it is good until lunch, then – precipitation start. Precipitation is still wet, not snowy, so we try to move in the first half of the day. Today, on the way, we looked into the Tengboche Monastery, someone to take a look, someone for the blessing of our expedition. Tomorrow we will continue our route "higher and closer".

 Namaste! This is a guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov and the group "Three guest workers, not counting the dog". On the first night, a dog came to us and became part of our group. It, like us, works for food only! As for the food, the whole group tasted the local doshirak and it turned out to be beautiful!

On the first day, we climbed to the loggia at 4000m by the pleasant sunny weather. The next day promised to be difficult with the ascent of the Zatrva La pass. The ascent to the pass was like a ladder from the movie "The Lord of the Rings"! The fog and gathering rain urged us to go faster! In the evening, we went down to the Tuli Kharka lodge, where we were promised Internet. But because of the storm that started just a minute after we got there, it didn't work! The next day we went down to Kothe through a misty forest, similar to the forest of Baba Yaga. In the Kothe, finally, the Internet appeared and we are back in touch. But it won't be for long - tomorrow it will disappear again! As it is, all members feel great and is ready to move on!
